NSTRUCTIONS:
Score and fold your
cardstock with texture to outside, 3" from left side and
3" from right side, leaving 6" for center piece. The
gate folds should meet in the center neatly.
Cut a large heart
from the plain cardstock, that will fit within the width of your
card dimensions and accommodate your rubber stamp and having
approx a 3/4" border (mine is outside dimensions of
5.75"w x 6.25"h and inside dimensions of 4.25"w x
4.5"h).
Cut approx 9 or
10 - 2" squares from your gold metallic paper (this will
eventually make approx 36 to 40 little triangles). With
the tip of your Pearlescent Lavender dew drop pad, make a rough kind of cross
in the center of the square, going about 1" to either side
of the center point on each diagonal line - eyeball it. (Don't
put too much ink down, just enough to hold a little embossing
powder). Emboss with the amethyst embossing powder and heat set.
Cut this square on the diagonal lines creating 4 little
triangles which should have a little of the amethyst embossing on
the tip and along 2 sides. Place one triangle on the heart
frame, point at dip in heart, place a dab of glue to attach to
frame. Place next triangle with the tip overlapping first
triangle, keeping them fairly close together, glue down to
frame. Continue placing and gluing down until you get to the
other side of the dip in heart . Starting at the first triangle
again, wrap extending points of triangles around frame, working
one side all the way around, cutting off points that extend over
back of frame when wrapped, and gluing them down to frame. Then work on
the other side of the triangles wrapping around frame, trimming
points if necessary and gluing down. At the point of the heart
you may have to cut a couple slits in your triangles to neatly
wrap them around the frame.

Rubber stamp your
quote onto the button scrapbook paper using the Pearlescent
Lavender dew drops
pad and Amethyst embossing powder, heat set. Place your frame
heart over the button paper centering the stamped word. When
your happy with the placement, lightly pencil in the outside
edge of the frame heart onto the scrapbook paper. Cut out the
heart a touch smaller than the frame heart. Glue to frame. Using
the frame heart again, make a light pencil mark on purple
cardstock and cut out heart, same size as frame and glue to
frame assembly. Glue this assembly to the left front half of
your gate fold card, positioning the tip of the heart to land at
the bottom of your card and the heart centered over the gate
fold. The heart will extend above your card.
Thread your
purple ribbon through the holes in your buttons. I went through
the back of one hole and into the front of the other hole on the
first button, gluing a small end piece to the back of the
button, then through the back of the hole in the 2nd button,
then through the front of the other hole in the second button,
gluing a little piece of the end to the back of the second
button. You should have a nice loop of ribbon between the 2
buttons. Cut the loop to get two even pieces. Keeping the ribbon
ends at the top of your card, glue down the two buttons to card. (I used Golden's soft gel medium). Add your
3rd button centered over the other 2 buttons. Tie the
ribbon into a nice bow and put a dab of Aleene's tacky glue in
the knot area to keep the bow from coming undone. Cut off ribbon
ends to desired length.
